These walks with God have helped my faith. I have learned to let go and let God guide me as I journey with Him. I trust that even as I place my foot, He is always preparing the ground beneath and ahead of me.
When God brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land, He dried up the waters of the Jordan River for their crossing. What a grand entrance! This miracle left no doubt of God’s perfect will and love for them. But they had work to do too. Even as they crossed, each of the twelve tribes were to lift a large stone from the river bed and carry it to the shore. These would serve as monuments to generations to come, proof that Israel passed over the Jordan on dry land, that the mighty hand of God led them there.
As I reflect on this account in the book of Joshua, I see a vital truth. Though God always leads me, my job is to be obedient, willing, faithful and hard-working. He prepares the way, changing the impossible to the possible. I am to step in His authority, carry my weight and bear witness to His greatness for others, perhaps generations, to see. God will plan my course. I know He will provide the wonders if I will ready my heart with faith and earnest effort to do the work He puts in my path.
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9
